Wayne Private Tutors for In-Home Tutoring

About: I've been entrusted with the care of my younger siblings, neighborhood kids, friends’ kids, and more recently my adorable niece and nephew, all of my life. Getting to know kids, or just people in general, and figuring out how to make the subject matter relevant to their lives and interests, is something I tremendously enjoy. I excelled in math from a young age. My mom ran a literacy program for many years, so I also learned early on, how to enhance my vocabulary and find pleasure in reading and writing. I find it very rewarding to pass these skills on to others. I've been tutoring in some capacity for over 30 years, some paid, some volunteer.I hope you’ll give me a chance to help your child!

About: Hello! My name is Heather and I currently work at Spring-Ford High School as a science teacher.In my eight years of experience, I have taught a wide breadth of science courses with most of my years in the subjects of college prep biology as well as anatomy and physiology.I have a unique position at school in that I work as a mentor to students in the gifted program so I have experience teacher science courses such as animal behavior, science in the 21st century, and opposing viewpoints to the gifted student population. Additionally, I spent 5 years working in a co-taught classroom so I am very comfortable working with students at all learning levels.While my teaching experience primarily focuses on high school science, I am also certified in high school math and general science. Additionally, my tutoring experience includes both academic and honors biology as well as anatomy and physiology. Many students struggle with science because they can’t relate to the topic or find it to be tedious. When tutoring, I like to help students understand how the topic at hand impacts their lives so they can make a connection with the material they are learning.
